Susha is trying to divide a packet of jelly

babies between her 4 children. Firstly, she

gives some to the eldest; the second gets a

third of what is left; the third gets 5/8 of what’s

left; and the youngest receives the rest of the

packet, which is 2/5 of their eldest sibling’s

share. Each child receives fewer than 20 jelly

babies. How many are in the packet and what

number does each child get?
